My Alpine 9851 HU requires a AI-NET compatible disc changer in order to work. My current CHM-S630 disc changer is not the AI-NET type. I wonder if there is any adapter available that I can use in order to make the connection? Advice appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, may i ask if which brand of in car player is best for direct connection for my nano? A few ICE shops I went to recommended the Alpine, some recommended the panasonic one like the shop at Jurong Point basement. Sony also has a range of IPod compatibles but their cables don't charge the IPod. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks

What components? Budget about $300 to $450. I have 1 x 2-CH 680W and 2 x 4-CH 600 W/ 800W Amps. 1 x 10" JBL Bass Tube. Keeping the rear coaxials as fillers. Would like to hear more recommendations while I wait for my SWI-ALP to arrive.

Hi all ICE fans Alpine ICE competition coming up in July 16! Win cash prizes! Lookup this link for more details: www.mod-avi.com/competition.htm

guess some of you know that Chevy has appointed Alpine Motors as the new distributor and service partner. read today's ST for the ads. Here's AM's details: Boon Lay Showroom: 8 Boon Lay Way, #01-24/25/26 Tradehub21 Singapore 609964 Tel: 6316 5335 Fax: 6316 5333 Bukit Timah Showroom: 833 Bukit Timah Road, #01-01 Royalville Singapore 279887 Tel: 6469 9998 Fax: 6469 3188 Service Center in Sin Ming. After my bad experience with SA, i welcome the new change and hoepfully bring in better service. with competition, i foresee the price for new cars will go down and you can ask for better freebies. solely my opinion: if you are thinking of getting the new Aveo, you can now have the option to ask both AM and SA, see which gives better offer.

is this a good amp? my friend found this in his store room, it is an unused amplifier...he intend to give it to me free... i am currently using D3 for my front component...without any amp...i only changed my front speaker to D3 can someone advise on this?

Alpine has introduced a new iPod interface, the Full Speed (KCE-422i) which promises on-HU control that is as responsive as the clickwheel on the iPod . Currently the only HU compatible with the Full Speed is CDE-9850Ri. Any one knows if the Full Speed and the 9850 are available in Singapore ? Also, any news on upcoming compatible Alpine HUs?

Anyone knows where can I get this cable? It's the alpine i-Net to AUX cable... wanna connect to mp3 player.

Hi all, Me newbie in car audio.. My set as below: Clarion 846 HU Alpine MRP-F240 amp mb quart component front spk infinity 3 way rear spk I had been trying to tune my amp but i noticed even when i set the gain to the min or to max..there is not very much difference in the sound being play out.. However i noticed when i tuned the bass eq to more than mid level..the bass of the rear become very bommy. I had been following the manual to tune the amp. As per manual, tune the gain of the amp to min and turn the vol of HU to a reasonable level till the sound distorted. Then lower the volume of the hu by one level. Next tune the amp by increasing the gain till the sound distorted and drop by one level. Can any bro highlight to me what can you expect when you tune your amp gain from min to max. I do hear some difference but not very big..can tht be due to my amp is only a 40w rms per channel? Please advise . Thanks

Thinking of getting a good (and cheap) Alpine dealer to buy and install for me. CDA-9853. Any idea where is a recommended place(s) to do it and can you gimme a good estimate on the price? I tried AV One at Asiawide Industrial Building. They quoted me $510+$20 installation+GST=$556.60.

Any suggestion for a 1 din H/U with LCD screen ? Price idea ?

I bought my car with this Atlanta CD34 SDP. I added a monoblock amp AudioBank M5 1300w max 350w rms at 4ohm and Cadence single coil subwoofer 300w rms. I also added a Cadence CEQ770 band equaliser with subwoofer control so that I can control the speakers' frequency and also have the subwoofer's control more easily reachable. Other wise I only have the bass volume control knob extended from my monoblock amp and cannot control the frequency at my seat. But the problem is this HU has no PRE-OUT to output to the monoblock amp. So the audio shop gave me a hi-lo converter to create a preout. The configuration is hence, HU->Preamp->Monoblock amp->Subwoofer.So I use it for 2 month plus. The bass is excellent. Unil... Yesterday, I backside itchy, went to sim lim walk walk, then bought a Alpine HU. Now this new HU got 3 PRE-OUT. One is front speakers, one is rear speakers and one is Subwoofer PRE-OUT. I have 7 band equaliser inside my new HU already. But I duno how to tune it yet. The installer connected the front speaker PREOUT from my HU to the preamp input and then the preamp's subwoofer's PREOUT to the monoblock amp. The configuration is now. HU's front speaker PRE-OUT->preamp input->monoblock amp->subwoofer. The pre-amp's front speaker and rear speaker's PRE-OUT is not in use. Got a problem is now my bass become very soft, I tune up the gain until super high already still quite soft. I duno whether which HU's PRE-OUT should I use. Should I use the Front Speaker's or Subwoofer's? I haven add any amp for my front and rear speaker, hence the preamp's front speaker output and rear speaker's output is not in use. I currently power the front and rear speakers from my HU's in built amp at 18w rms. I am afraid if I use the Subwoofer's PreOut to the preamp, then in future when I add a amp(4 channel) for the front and rear speaker's will I still get the correct signal or my 4 channel amp only can receive subwoofer's low frequency(wrong signal). Should I still use a preamp? My installer say I can directly connect my amp to the subwoofer's PREOUT at the HU. And in future, the 4 channel's amp also use the front speaker's and rear speaker's PREOUT directly from the HU. But one thing is, I like the advantage of the control of the bass volume and frequency directly without tuning my HU, bcos my HU's equaliser is very complicated and deep(have to press many buttons to access the tuning while driving quite dangerous) inside to tune.

thinking of this alpine model CDA-9807. Is this an entry level model? ( I am looking for an entry level model) dun need those complicate setting ANy bro here using this?
